🎄👌🙏🏻

I hate NGU But man after 2 years of trying to orange pill and explain “the revolution “ with no success, all it takes is 1 min of NGU and everyone is like “how do I buy some ?” I’m guessing another 4 years before they’re staying for the revolution We re so early

« They fight you » phase has begun At the moment they are going with institutional and regulatory capture

It’s by far the best time to build on bitcoin You have : all the narratives , a product ecosystem, institutions changing their tone, a strong community and still so early that everything needs to be done , wide open spaces

Owning paper bitcoin is like owning a piece of a house on a paper. You don’t get any of its beneficial properties: can’t shelter or live in it, can’t raise your family in it , nor can you garden or improve it

Twitter is down but Bitcoin keeps ticking

Bitcoin is internet universal money. The property of universality: - comes from the fact that it’s electronic - more importantly from the fact that no one can print more of it (unlike everything else)

If the way it goes has nothing to do with our actions, why do we let it get as us? Because we choose when to.

Hi @DEMAND I love what you are trying to do. But your FAQ can be misconstrued as disingenuous at best if your approach is B2C. "This is highly variable and depends on your hash rate and the network's total hash rate. It could take days, months, or even longer, and there's a chance you might never successfully mine a block." => a pleb with an S9 or S19 would take hundreds of years "Is Solo Mining Profitable? We make it profitable by giving our miners an option to sell their hashrate on various hashrate marketplaces." => that's not solo mining My point: you do not need to write almost-deceptive marketing stuff like they would in the 1990s. You are doing something great, just own it and be upfront. You provide a SOLUTION for a solo miner: because he can simultaneously earn for some his hashpower while doing gambling SOLO Good luck

NOSTR is an attempt at a decentralized marketplace we just don’t know it yet In a townsquare people talk and chat But 3 days a week there’s a market too

There is a reason why all shitcoins must fail You can’t have an individual with the power of a central bank and not have it mindfuck the poor guy

The three little pigs. For the longest time I thought it was actually about house building. In reality it’s about surviving. You have to put in the work. That’s what I tell my kids about education. Somehow it reminds me of bitcoin as well

Unpopular question: What portion of the Lightning roadmap (well BOLTs to be precise) is geared towards : - A/features for professional lightning services providers - B/features for plebs to connect to each other using LN but without using those professional service providers… aka building a really distributed peer to peer network ? Aka making lightning easier for the pleb For some reason I have the feeling that it’s mostly moving towards A .

fear of complexity leads to custodial Custodial leads to fiat Fiat leads to the dark side

Anyone remembers the early days of open internet at work? Like when we had to time share one physical RJ45 because « employees have no « real work » reason to go outside the intranet » 🤣 Same thing with money

There is no such thing as unknowing. Even if it’s just a possibility. It s not a curse. It is time preference in its fullest, rawest, unvarnished. Life

To every NGU idiot who keeps putting out a chart where « now it s going up for sure because x y and z » All it tells me is that you haven’t really understood anything Whatever it is that you are going to do when it does not happen, you should be doing it right now. Just leapfrog , save yourself some time
